By the way I've got 2 hens setting in some thick lantana and cactus who knows how many eggs??? I've also got a hen setting on a nest with 30+ eggs in the bird house. My peas are in there there is a 40' chain link fence with a wire cover on it. There is also a motion detector light. So she is pretty safe!

This is the best I have ever had. I hatched 22 out of 50. When I set them they were old so I didn't expect a very good result!
